Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Members of the Tricycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (TORAN), Ogun State chapter, have called on well-meaning Nigerians to emulate former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who was seen riding a tricycle, known as keke, in Abeokuta on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The riders commended Obasanjo for distributing 85 tricycles to empower young people across the nation.<\/p>\n

The State Executive of the union appreciated Obasanjo for what they called his coordinated action, including the symbolic public riding of the tricycle in the state capital.<\/p>\n

The Executive Chairman of TORAN in Ogun, Prince Abdulwasi Agunbiade, said in a statement that the octogenarian\u2019s action was \u201cgeared towards changing the ill narrative that Keke riders are social liabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agunbiade spoke further that, \u201cWe as a Union felt elated reading about our father\u2019s action at a time when we have set out to re-orientate the populace on the safety of riding in Keke-Maruwa which is now being handled by members of our union, who are well cultured on road safety practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell-meaning Nigerians should emulate the former President towards encouraging youth to embrace small scale businesses which would result in self-sustainability in the society.\u201d<\/p>\n
